Did I instal the MF3 soundbank updates?

Post by FMiguelez »

Hello.

I had to restore a samples disk from a clone, and now I'm not sure if the MF3 soundbank updates were installed in there or not. I want to make sure I'm running the latest sounds...

Is there any way I can know for sure? Size? Modification date?

Thanks!

I have both the current samples, and the V3.1.3 samples still on my drive. Looking at the F Grand ufs file, the creation date for the newer version is Aug 9 2013 and for the older version, May 24, 2011.

I don't know that it matters all that much. The size differences weren't that big as I recall.

The size differences are minor, but I thought there was some difference in efficiency in the use of the samples.

Thanks, guys.

I can't figure it out, and I want to make sure I have the latest soundbanks!

Unfortunately, I didn't save the downloaded images, so if by looking at the screenshot you can compare it to your folder, perhaps you could tell me?

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

Those dates match mine. Unless there was another update in the last few months I missed, those are the most recent.
